Most Valued Genre in America
Apr 30 2007, 9:37 PM EDT
I would also say that comedy in the most valued genre in America. Comedy allows us to look at reflections and characterizations of ourselves and realise our imperfections in a lighthearted way. Comedy is escapist, and it's escapist in a benign manner. Shows such as the Daily Show allow us to look at our news, which is often tragic, in a manner we can deal with. Shows such as The Office make the mundane not seem so mundane. These shows give us a different look at reality that we would not always look for on our own.
Do you find this valuable?
